Payment Options & Pricing Expectations
We keep payment terms plain, milestone-based, and tied to real project progress. That gives homeowners a clearer path forward without cutting corners on labor, structure, or material quality.
How we structure payments
We offer clear payment schedules for qualifying projects. Final terms vary by project size, material package, schedule, and scope.

- 5% to 10% at final walkthrough
Split-pay option
Best for homeowners who want breathing room without a long-term loan.
